I found another great travel list on Business Insider. Definitely more fodder for my bucket list. Here is the list with the ones I’ve done crossed out: Ride a dogsled through the backcountry of Sweden. Taste some of the best pizza in the world in Naples, Italy.

Books of 2015
I’ve never really been able to stick to a reading list. Inevitably an awesome sounding book comes my way and I have to derail my plans. This year, I’m actually giving myself assigned reading so I can power through some of these books I’ve either half-read or have been putting off for a bit. Here…

I’d been holding onto her for a while because she belonged to my grandmother, may…
